Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-centric bias. It references Windows-specific services (Windows 365, Windows activation, Group Policy), tools (Event Viewer, Windows logs), and troubleshooting steps that assume a Windows environment. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or troubleshooting steps, and all references to client connectivity, troubleshooting, and configuration are framed in terms of Windows tools and patterns. Linux or cross-platform client scenarios are not addressed.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit guidance for Linux and macOS clients, including how to connect to Dev Box using cross-platform Remote Desktop clients.
- Provide troubleshooting steps using Linux tools (e.g., journalctl, system logs) alongside Windows Event Viewer instructions.
- Include examples of network configuration and connectivity checks using Linux commands (e.g., curl, dig, netstat) in addition to or instead of Windows-specific tools.
- Clarify which requirements and steps apply to all platforms, and which are Windows-specific.
- Reference cross-platform documentation for remote desktop clients and network troubleshooting.
- Mention and link to open-source or cross-platform alternatives where possible (e.g., FreeRDP, Remmina for Linux).
